Variables are initialized to the value specified in the "Vars:" statement
prior to the execution of the code at CurrentBar = 1. From that point on,
they retain that value until redefined by an assignment statement on some
bar. They then retain that new value until again specified by an assignment
statement on that or some other bar.
Thus, in the above, "SaveBar" will contain the same number until
<condition> is again true on some future bar.
